The Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty lies a short distance to the south with its unspoilt coastal scenery, hidden coves and creeks, with various areas of the coast in the ownership of The National Trust. Nearby, Polperro, Polruan/Fowey and Looe are picturesque, each with their own harbours and fishing fleets. Looe has a branch line railway providing a useful commuting link via mainline trains at Liskeard (Plymouth to London Paddington 3 hours). The deep waters of the Fowey estuary are well known to the sailing fraternity. There are nearby golf courses, including St Mellion. Plymouth offers access to cross channel ferry services and there is an international airport at Newquay.
Many of Cornwalls attractions are within easy driving distance, including the Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and such National Trust properties as Cotehele and Lanhydrock.
